Egyptian houses without roofs: why build like this

Our compatriots often go to Egypt to rest. And not only ours, but people from all over the world come to touch the history of the pharaohs and plunge into the mysterious world of this country.

There are enough riddles here. There are also pyramids which are more than 4500 years old. No less mysterious noseless Sphinx, which was created around the Predynastic period. The Nile River, which is striking in its long and history. Boundless deserts full of mythical stories and much more.

But upon arriving in Egypt, the first mystery that tourists are trying to guess is houses with no roofs.

How is it, such a country, but the houses seem to be in an eternal building. Here is a house, people live in it, it looks dignified, even the garden is planted and well-groomed. But at the same time, the fittings are sticking out of the last floor, and even a heap of debris is visible.

And some families in general, breed birds and hares there.

And all why? To avoid taxes. The answer is absolutely simple to this question. I can add that there is still a chance to finish building one floor, suddenly the son will have nowhere to bring his future wife. But this is secondary for the Egyptians, because they have enough housing, and the state helps young families.

It is surprising that not only the poor, but also the very socially secured, are trying to avoid paying taxes on real estate. Not all people, but most. And it's not about ventilation at all, as many say. Well, there are no holes in the ceilings. And every second can afford an air conditioner. It's about Egyptian nature. Why pay for the construction if you can invest this money in the same building. Perhaps our countries lack such a law, do you think?
